You did it all for the Mojo! Post your Mojo pictures!

@drgonzo1969 Thats one badass guitar!

Thanks! I got most the parts off Amazon and guitarfetish. The kit was from the Yinfente store on Amazon. Lollar imperial pickups. I made the cavity cover on the back attach with magnets. The rosewood fretboard is gorgeous too but I can’t get a good photo of wood grain.

I know what you mean about photos not doing justice but man I have to say I don’t think that’s a problem here! That’s a beauty!

Magic Diode testing

 

[Silver Blues]

Am reorganizing some of my parts now and came across these:

I remember receiving these as freebies with an eBay purchase, but never actually knew what they were, so in the back of the closet they went. Looking at them now, I had the realization: two leads... red dot marking on the side?

...Are these LEDs?

One coin-cell later and sure enough:



These are very interesting. I had twelve but had to discard two that did not light. Forward voltage seems to be >1V (my DMM won't measure diodes with a greater FV than this so I don't know for sure). The lenses are made of a plastic so soft that it yields to my fingernail, and all of them were super cloudy/dirty. Thankfully a Q-tip and some isopropanol cleared all of them right up, some to greater effect than others (sadly, the one that cleaned up the best was one of the non-working ones - you could see right to the distinctly rectangular-prism-shaped semiconductor die on that one with ambient light alone). They are probably not much good for indicators as they are super dim, but I can definitely see these being some ultra-mojo clippers?

Whoa! I wonder if that’s a weird vintage thing, or if anyone still makes leds in that package. Super cool looking. Major mojo!

You can still get LEDs in that package. Digikey has them listed as TO-46:

Here's my most relevant build for this thread, an eyelet board Phase 45 clone with NOS metal can JFETs, metal can op amps, carbon comps, Sprague and Vishay caps, and a Mullard OAZ201 for the Zener.

That wiring is NEAT!
Very cool build!

Weird!! Did not think that was the case, but good to know.

Nice build! Very Mojo

 

[vigilante398]

Sometimes I use 1206 SMD components instead of 0805, does that count as mojo?

Love seeing everyone else's stuff, looks great.

 

[drgonzo1969]

this isnt my build but i found this on madbean forum and thought i would repost it here for discussion. mojo city here

My attempt at DIY 'mood' lighting:

I think it brings a certain type of mojo to the room.

*Maybe don't stick your hand in there though- I built it when I was 19

Well you normally see those witches hats on the roads.

My favorite 5E3, built around 15 years ago.... For those wondering, these were the original capacitors used in the Tweed Deluxe, well, except the .022 it was a more expensive upgrade to the one used in the 5e3.

Nice work! Shame that you built it upside down.
